Andrew Garfield is hoping you'll be excited to see him portray Peter Parker in the upcoming superhero reboot "The Amazing Spider-Man" -- but he's also hoping you won't do what he did when the original version of "Spider-Man" came out ten years ago.

"I saw the Sam Raimi / Tobey Maguire version before it was legally out. I was so excited to see it I got a pirate copy," Garfield revealed in a new exclusive interview with MTV. "I was blown away."

Of course, that kind of digital piracy is just the kind of illegal activity Spider-Man has dedicated his life to fighting. So why was Garfield compelled to go to such lengths to satisfy his inner geek? Check out the whole interview. And kids: Do not try this at home.
